The music industry worldwide is going through a number of important changes. This research project proposes to: (1) map the most important changes in the music industry in Flanders since 1990, specifically regarding: 1. size and nature (aggregated sales and structure, defined as density and concentration) of the Flemish music industry and its different groups of actors; 2. the value chain of the Flemish music industry, also from a vertical perspective in terms of the contribution and rents of different levels in the industry chain; 3. with special attention for the characteristics and behaviour of the Flemish music consumer, and its impact on the horizontal (1) and vertical (2) evolution of the sector; 4. technological innovations influencing 1, 2, 3 and 4, with an emphasis on new (Internet-based) channels of distribution and methods for promotion (broadly defined); (2) confront a number of existing theories about transforming industries with the most conspicuous changes found, focusing on insights from industrial organization (economics) and organizational ecology (sociology).
